His itinerary this summer includes trips to dive with humpbacks in Tonga, explore the vast remoteness of Australia, stroll deep into the Rift Valley of Ethiopia, and then a safari to see the gorillas of Uganda. We’re just happy he keeps sending these incredible images every time he stumbles across good wi-fi in some remote corner of the globe. Below is his dispatch from deep in the Indonesia jungle. —LYA Editor

There is no way around them, so we are often soaking wet, which makes fast-drying Travex gear critical.

Dispatch, Borneo: Three months in the rainforests of Borneo, the world’s third-largest island, a place that seems forgotten by the rest of the world, is a dream assignment. I’m here for National Geographic and we are traveling the length of Borneo. We are moving by boat, plane, truck, and on foot to get as far away as possible.

Thus far, the rivers are my favorite part of the experience. I suppose it is the ease of travel and the fact that rivers move through all ecosystems and touch every culture, giving you a chance—on one line of travel—to see so much. Already we’ve been up the Kapuas River in the Central Kalimantan province. There, we rode in old canoe-like boats with two-stroke lawnmower motors. The boat had two speeds: slow and flat out, which our driver controlled by pulling a string. The engine was loud and annoying, but the wind in my hair and the lack of bugs made up for it, especially considering we were about to spend three weeks living in a peat swamp forest renowned for mosquitoes and the amount of water on the forest floor.

There wasn’t a day that I was dry. At times even the trails, which we walked on only 10 percent of our time there, were flooded with water. Walking became like a game of chess, standing at the edge of a pool of water and mapping out your route in the hope that you wouldn’t sink knee-deep in mud. Some of the people I was with sank so deep in mud and water that they couldn’t get out on their own. Now I’m in West Kalimantan Province, preparing for another journey into the forest. We will be traveling by boat again, which excites me, and the forest we are going to is a primary tropical rainforest, meaning it is intact, has never been cut down. The chance to visit places like these, especially this one, which is enmeshed in so many levels of bureaucracy that fewer than ten tourists visit each year, overwhelms me with a sense of privilege.
